Scripture:
Exodus 3:1-22
1 Corinthians 6:12-20
There are places that when you go there you instinctively know it is sacred. You treat it with respect and reverence. We don't even think twice about honoring a house of God or sacred ground. Most of us wouldn't even think twice about it. It wouldn't even occur to us to tear the house of God apart.
So why do we destroy our own bodies? Are our bodies not the temple of God, His dwelling place. I remember when I was a child and was talking with a friend of mine. We got on the topic of smoking was bad. I never considered it being bad. He was the first person to emphasize our bodies are the temple of God. He said by smoking we are defiling God's house. On one hand I disagree with him on that note. However, he was right. Smoking causes harm and damages our bodies and those around us. Thus we damage or defile God's house. When we abuse our bodies or miss use them in immoral ways we are defiling the house of God. His holy temple. 1 Corinthians 6:20 "you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."
We should treat our own bodies the same way we would any church, temple or other holy place of God. God paid a hi price for our bodies and our spirits. Let us honor Him with them...
